My blackjack looked just like your black EE austrolorp. He died last week fighting off dogs to protect his girls. He was the best rooster. If you weren't do far away I would take him.
Thank you for responding. I am worried I will come home it and be passed. It sits up good in a corner by itself and it seems to be making some
Improvement but very little. Today it's two days old. I'm going to try making a sling out of t-shirt and hanging it with a bungee cord from the hardware...
ok, I am asking this question here because I'm not getting answers anywhere else. One of the cutest araucanas that hatched on 2/11, just yesterday, cannot walk. It is definitely not splay leg. Its legs do not go out to the side, he cannot stand unless I balance him, he rolls to get around. He is...
what ever happened with your chick? I am having the same problem with a day old chick. I didn't have to assist in hatching but it cannot walk. it just rolls everywhere, it cant even stand. Its so sad and I don't know how to help it.
can anyone help with this chick? I feel so bad. I'm having to keep it in a cup by itself. I tried to fix it with rubber band and straw but isn't helping :((( I think I need to tape its feet down on a piece of cardboard or something sturdy. It just rolls over and the other chickens are pecking at...
So araucana and ee are not the same right? I have an EE rooster and a hen from him. They are both bearded and she just started laying a beautiful pastel blue egg. I didn't know when I purchased these I'm incubating that they possibly
Might be tufted. I want beards, not tufts. :/
I recently incubated about 4 dozen araucana blue eggs. They are due to hatch in 2 days. I am not sure what to expect. We bought the eggs at an auction. I have heard that they are stubborn a lot and most of them never hatch....any advice. Do they all have beards? Some say that araucanas are...
Ok so we went to check on roxy(our boody hen) today, just now actually and 5 chicks were already hatched so we decided the move her inside. She was not happy about it at all and took a nice big broody poo on the spare bed. We put her in a big cage with a light, food and water. The cage has wood...
Ok so update!!! The hen hasn't been moved and I just went to check on her bc I'm thinking it's close to hatch day and I hear sweet little chirps underneath her. She won't let me touch her so I took her food and water. Most likely she hasn't had them all and I should wait until they are up and...
Our speckled Sussex is sitting 2 yards over on 15 eggs. She's been sitting for almost 3 weeks. We aren't for sure on the day bc she went missing and we honestly thought someone stole her or she was taken by a predator. Anyways she shows up one day to eat so we followed her and found her spot. 2...
Day 8. It has lots of specks so I can't tell if the veins are developing or not. We made an egg candler. All but 2 of the araucana eggs we still could really see anything. We were able to tell that one wasn't fertile. The rest are super dark which I'm guessing is good. Out of 40 we still have 33...
